Maybe it would be a book that has enjoyed considerable commercial success outside of Canada: a book many readers wouldn’t necessarily associate with British Columbia, like something by Jack Whyte or Dan Kalla. Or maybe it would be something by Emily Carr, George Woodcock or someone else whose life and work are inextricably linked to the province’s rich history?
